About Island Boys Food Jamaican restaurant We open when the factory has show

Parked in the Factory Theatre courtyard during show nights, this food truck dishes out serious Jamaican barbecue. Uncle Philly turns out tender jerk chicken charred fresh over charcoal, flanked by rice and peas and golden cornbread festival to mop up hot pepper sauces and pineapple jam. Locals swear by the pre-show feed—especially regulars who ring ahead a day early to lock in custom off-menu goat curry or oxtail.

  • Pre-Show Courtyard Smoke: Open directly in the Factory Theatre courtyard to feed gig-goers before and between shows.
  • Charcoal Jerk & Sides: Smoky jerk chicken comes flanked by fragrant rice and peas, spicy house sauces, and fried festival cornbread.
  • Custom Call-Ahead Specials: Call a day in advance to unlock homestyle off-menu dishes like slow-cooked goat curry, oxtail, or bespoke seafood.

Why Choose Island Boys Food

Authentic Jamaican jerk and bespoke island dishes right in the Factory Theatre courtyard

  • Juicy Jerk Chicken & Traditional Sides

    Charcoal-cooked tender jerk chicken comes paired with classic Jamaican sides like sweet, fluffy cornbread and seasoned rice and peas.

    got the jerk chicken with cornbread, which came with two side sauces. I loved the spices on the chicken and it was super juicy. The cornbread was perfect to mop up the sauces.

  • Hearty Charcoal-Grilled Platters

    Guests can order generous tasting platters loaded with jerk pork, pulled pepper beef, and homemade hot sauces.

    It contained their famous jerk chicken, pork, pulled pepper beef, rice and peas and cornbread. I have never been a fan of pork but the flavors of both the spice blend and having been cooked over charcoal was incredible.

    happy to prepare special dishes if you call a day before seafood cooked the way you like it, delicious oxtail, and even goat curry on request.

    Call ahead to preorder goat curry, smoked lamb, jerk shrimp, fish. The festival (cornbread dumpling) was my highlight of the day.

Before you head over

Practical planning tips for dining at the Factory Theatre courtyard food truck

  • Sync with Factory Theatre schedules

    Island Boys operates from the Factory Theatre courtyard when events are on. If you are dropping by between shows or traveling strictly for dinner, call ahead to verify their opening hours.

  • Plan public transit around Marrickville parking

    Street parking in Marrickville around Victoria Road is notoriously difficult. Opt for local bus routes that stop directly near the venue, or arrive with extra time to find a space.

  • Call a day ahead for custom Caribbean specials

    While jerk chicken and sides are served on site, special homestyle Caribbean dishes like oxtail, goat curry, smoked lamb, or custom seafood can be pre-ordered a day in advance by phone.
